Kumari is back from the World Beyond, but everything has changed. The palace is full of danger, her father is seriously ill and the Hidden Kingdom lies in crisis.

What’s a girl goddess to do? Kumari’s still struggling to gain her Powers, while her quest to avenge her beloved Mamma seems tougher than ever. And she’s missing her friends in New York – here she has none, except for her bolshie baby vulture, Badmash, and it seems she can trust no one.

When disaster strikes, Kumari has to work fast and in secret. Can she outwit the thieves of Happiness to save Papa and her people? Or will she have to sacrifice her own life for the kingdom she loves?

REVIEW

Kumari and her pet eagle, Badmash, come home after a trip to the World Beyond but soon after things start to take a turn for the worst…

The second in the Kumari series, I think it is a very well written story. It will make a wonderful bedtime story as it has lots of exciting cliff hangers. This book had me hooked from the first line onwards. I loved this book and hopefully so will you!
